Windsocks can't determine chemical hazards. If your using a windsock at a chemical plant, it would be there to tell you which direction and how strong the wind is blowing. This information can be used to calculate how far and how fast the plume of contaminants will travel. The EPA has several modeling programs that assist in determining the necessary zone of evacuation. This distant varies based on a variety of inputs, as well as day or night.
Windsock and generally calibrated to a MPH or KNOT reading. When the sock is full the wind is blowing at 15 MPH. A 27 " long windsock indicates 15 MPH when full extended. Other companies offer micro socks or flags that can detect winds of less then 3 MPH. These would be more useful for on-site use at a chemical plant, as they would give more detailed closer to the ground information. A large windsock would be helpful when the release of contaminants might threaten nearby 5 miles away communities. If the wind is blowing the contaminants at 15 MPH and the town was 10 miles away.....you get the idea.

How are scientists able to determine the type of radioactive isotope responsible for radioactivity?
They can measure the half-life. They can also observe the chemical traits of the atom, which is a function of the number of electrons.
Is the type of bonding between elements in a compound chemical-chemically?
Type of bonding between elements in a compound chemical-chemically is chemical bonding.
Is decomposition a type of chemical reaction?
Yes, decomposition is a type of chemical reaction. This chemical reaction breaks down a compound into its individual elements.
What type of chemical reaction connects polymers together?
The type of chemical reaction that connects polymers together is dehydration synthesis.
How many of each type of atom need to combine to form the molecule?
To determine how many of each type of atom are needed to form a molecule, you would need to look at the chemical formula of the molecule. The subscripts in the formula indicate the number of each type of atom present in the molecule. You can use these subscripts to determine the ratio of atoms that combine to form the molecule.
What type of hazard is an allergen?
what type of hazards like bio logical, chemical or physical
What type of material is a windsock made from?
A windsock is typically made from lightweight, durable materials such as nylon or polyester. These materials are weather-resistant and allow the windsock to move freely in the wind to indicate wind direction and speed.
Are physical and chemical properties of rocks helpful to determine the type of rock?
They are the only way to determine a rock type.
What is IMO type 3 ships?
A type 3 ship is a chemical tanker intended to transport 'chapter 17' products with sufficiently severe environmental and safety hazards which require a moderate degree of containment to increase survival capability in a damaged condition. Thus, a type 1 ship is a chemical tanker intended for the transportation of products considered to present the greatest overall hazard and type 2 and type 3 for products of progressively lesser hazards.
Which piece of PErsonal protective equipment CAN HELP PREVENT EXPOSURE AND PROTECT RESPONDERS AGAINST CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL HAZARDS?
A full-face respirator equipped with chemical cartridges can help prevent exposure and protect responders against chemical and physical hazards. This type of PPE provides a barrier for the eyes, nose, and mouth while filtering out harmful chemicals and particles from the air.
Red or irritated eyes and skin choking vomiting convulsions or seizures pinpoint pupils may be symptoms of what type of CBRNE exposure (All Hazards?
Chemical
I am the type of paper used to determine if a chemical is acid or alkali?
Litmus paper is used to determine if a chemical is acid or alkali. Litmus paper turns red in acidic solutions and blue in alkaline solutions.
How can you determine if a chemical equation is balanced?
A chemical equation is balanced when the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation. To determine if a chemical equation is balanced, count the number of each type of atom on both the reactant and product sides and adjust the coefficients in front of the chemical formulas to make the number of atoms equal on both sides.
Name the hazards in the workplace?
There are too many possible hazards to list them unless a specific type of workplace is indicated.
